Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Extracts From the Flying Roll: Being a Series of Sermons Compiled for the Gentile Churches of All Sects and Denominations
Stop at first principles, but to follow on to the end - If the lan guishing soul is quickened, it is According to God's word. If the hearts of Christ's disciples burn within them, it is while He talks with them by the way, and opens to them the Scrip tures and utters things in their hearing, which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world. Some perhaps may like J ehoiakim, the king of Judah, after hearing three or four leaves read, out it with a penknife and cast it intd the fire - but this can never consume ih. - The Spirit who caused the former roll to be written, has now caused the latter to be written - The Spirit who asked Zechariah What seest thou P and to which he answered I see a Flying 'roll, also caused an angel to fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred and tongue, and people, saying with a loud voice Fear God, and give glory to Him for the hour of His judgment is come. - Many will stumble at the words contained in the Flying Roll as many have already stumbled at the Scriptures in trying to reconcile the words spoken to the shepherds, around whom the glory of the Lord shone, saying Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men, with the words of Jesus Think not that I am come to send peace on the earth I came not to send peace, but a sword. - The words of this Roll which have been closed up and sealed, till the time of the end, are now revealed to mankind, - because the time for the fulfilment of all things is come. Many shall be purified and made white and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the Wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand. - These Extracts have been compiled into. Sermons for the Gentile churches including without exception, -all sects and denominations in Christendom, but are specially addressed to the children of Abraham, or the lost tribes scattered among them, that they may know7 that we are now in the third and last watch. That they may know that the Stem from the Root - has come ready to bear the branches. That they may know that the Female Immortal Spirit Jerusalem above has descended upon the mortal woman, and that consequently, the Temple is Open for the cleansing, - the flaming sword removed and the door to'the tree oflife is open. The fulness is set in. - It was also necessary to arrange the Flying Roll into sermons for the benefit of the true Gentile believers and followers of Christ, that they may seek the highest mansions in the Incorruptible Bride in the heaven lies, - albeit the deeper mysteries of the life of the body in the Immortal Bride, which only belongs to the Sealed of the Holy City, the remains hid from their eyes - By arranging the Flying Roll into a series of sermons, written in so much simplicity; many who are to-day afar off, without hope and without God in the world may learn that God is not a hard Master, but a God of love, having no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but now in an especial manner calls upon them to take the waters of life freely and live.-i may add in conclusion that although the originals are in my safe keeping, having recently received them from Jerusalem - that I have not added to, or taken away one word from it. I have simply caused it to be copied word for word and have handed it to the publishers. Neither did I compile them into their present form of Extracts. - As I have received them, so I now hand them to the English Public.
